This 3-hour program four will address a model of case conceptualization designed to better integrate the emerging field of affective neuroscience into the design of a comprehensive treatment approach for a wide range of clinical issues. Beginning with Ronald Heifetz's description of adaptive work, this program will serve as a targeted integrative tool for practical application of 21st Century neuroscience into direct clinical work. This work will enhance the clinician’s ability to form a more complete picture of a clinical case so that approaches and techniques may be applied more effectively. This course will provide practical tools to assist the clinician in structuring conceptualization of the case.

This three-hour core clinical program will provide important information about how to integrate emerging neuroscience concerned with depression and depressive disorders into your clinical practice in a clinically appropriate and ethically compliant manner.

Presenting a one-day, three-hour training to bring the 21st Century clinician up to date on current research related to advances in our understanding of communication and learning theory, affective neuroscience and implications for the capacity to generate more powerful communications with clients. This course will provide practical tools and approaches to transfer the key knowledge base for communicating with clients in a readily applicable way and to address motivational complexities and resistances to change.

Recent research indicates that emotional granularity – the ability to use our emotional equipment in a precise and granular way - is essential for mental well-being, emotional resilience and effective utilization of interpersonal effectiveness skills. Building upon the work of Lisa Feldman Barrett and Leonid Perlovsky, this 3-hour program is designed to bring the 21st Century clinician up to date on current research related to emotional granularity and its role in emotional development and successful functioning. This program will address the implications of emotional granularity for best practices in clinical work, psychoeducation, and parenting education, and will provide practical tools and approaches to transfer the key knowledge base to clients in a readily applicable way and to address motivational complexities and resistances to change.
